...most state speed laws are foundationed on the conditions of: "...reasonable and prudent..." not "...conforming..." and "...stupid see/stupid do..." (Forrest Gump paraphasing).

...similarly, just because everybody else is exceeding the speed limit is neither (a) a good reason nor (b) a legal defense against "breaking the law."

...too many people think they own the roadways and that it's 'majority rule' on speeds...sorry but that ain't "reasonable & prudent."
